Reference Manual for the Integrated ADSL Modem and Wireless Router with Voice, Model

4. Set the Region. Select the region in which the wireless interface will operate.

5. Set the Channel. The default channel is 11.

This field determines which operating frequency will be used. It should not be necessary to

change the wireless channel unless you notice interference problems with another nearby

wireless router or access point. Select a channel that is not being used by any other wireless

networks within several hundred feet of your firewall. For more information on the wireless

channel frequencies please refer to

6. For initial configuration and test, leave the Wireless Card Access List set to allow everyone

access by making sure that Turn Access Control On is not selected in the Wireless Station

Access List. In addition, leave the Encryption Strength set to "Disabled."

7. Click Apply to save your changes.

Note: If you are configuring the modem router from a wireless computer and you

change the modem router's SSID, channel, or security settings, you will lose

your wireless connection when you click Apply. You must then change the

wireless settings of your computer to match the firewall's new settings.

8. Configure and test your computers for wireless connectivity.

Program the wireless adapter of your computers to have the same SSID and channel that you

configured in the router. Check that they have a wireless link and are able to obtain an IP

address by DHCP from the modem router.

Once your computers have basic wireless connectivity to the modem router, you can configure the

advanced wireless security functions.
